CIVIL PROTECTION ORDER - DOMESTIC VIOLENCE - APPELLATE REVIEW - CIV.R. 65.1 - CIV.R. 53: Appellant husband may assert arguments for the first time on appeal, despite failing to file objections to the magistrate's decision with the trial court as required by Civ.R. 65.1(G), where the magistrate's decision did not inform husband of the necessity of filing objections as required by Civ.R. 53(D)(3)(a)(iii). Husband's claim on appeal that the trial court erred in overruling his motion to terminate the domestic violence civil protection order was moot where the order had expired during the pendency of the appeal. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in failing to grant husband relief from the judgment where he never explicitly requested relief from the judgment in his motion to terminate the domestic violence civil protection order and where he did not produce sufficient evidence to justify relief from judgment.
